The effect of zoledronic acid and high-dose vitamin D on function after hip fractures. A prospective cohort study
2022
Overview
PurposeHip fractures are associated with functional decline and increased mortality. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of zoledronic acid and high-dose vitamin D on function and mortality after hip fractures.Patients and methodsForty-five patients received zoledronic acid and high dose of vitamin D during hospitalization after fracture management. These patients were compared with a control group of 46 patients. Pre- and postoperative prospectively collected data including ASA score, Charlson comorbidity score, presence of dementia, Vitamin D, and the Barthel index were available. Final follow-up was performed after one year. Primary outcome was patients’ function at final follow-up as measured with Barthel index score. Secondary outcomes included mortality, assessment of pain, and complications.ResultsBarthel index score at final follow-up was decreased in both groups. There was no significant difference in Barthel index between the two groups (15.5 ± 5.0 vs 15.8 ± 5.8, p = 0.850). However, the Barthel index in the control group decreased beyond the smallest detectable change (3 points). Mortality was statistically different between groups (8.8% vs 28.2%, p = 0.047). Complications and pain at final follow-up were not different between groups. Multivariate analysis revealed that preoperative Barthel index and Charlson comorbidity score independently affected function at final follow-up. Logistic regression analysis disclosed that not receiving active treatment and complications were associated with increased mortality.ConclusionsMedical treatment after surgical management of hip fractures results in reduced mortality and lessens the functional decline associated with these fractures.
